HERSHEY’S Halloween – Seasonal Crafts & Recipes

Witches and Ghost and Pumpkins, Oh My! Are you ready for Halloween? Halloween is probably my favorite holiday of the entire year (Christmas is a close second!). I love everything from the creepy sights, to the colors, to the Halloween goodies and kids Halloween crafts!

Crafting is such a great way to get into the Halloween spirit and its also fun to make Halloween decorations with the family! I’ve got a super neat and easy Halloween crafts for kids; it’s a Halloween HERSHEY’S candy wreath!

My husband actually came up with the idea and I’m in love with it! Not only will it be a fun decoration for the house (or kid’s door), but it’s something that kids and adults will have fun making.

I did use a glue gun to adhere my candy to the wreath, so if you’re using a glue gun be careful to not burn your fingers. I only used a small dot of glue on each candy and older children shouldn’t have a problem with that method. If smaller children are going to be helping, make sure that an adult handles the glue gun or that strong sticky tape is used instead of glue.

WHITE SPACE FILLER

What you need:

1 festive leaf wreath

1 large HERSHEY’S chocolate bar

2 large bags of candy

Glue gun with glue sticks (or strong sticky tape)

WHITE SPACE FILLER

What to do:

Step 1: Dump all of the candy out and place the wreath on a flat surface.

Step 2: Plug the glue gun in and let it heat up.

Step 3: Add a dab of glue to the large HERSHEY’S Bar and stick it onto the wreath in the lower right hand side. (I used the large candy bar as a “bow” for this wreath)

Step 4: Next, take one piece of candy at a time and glue the candy to the wreath going all the way around the wreath.

Step 5: Use the rest of the candy to fill in spaces on the wreath until it is as full as you’d like it to be.

And you’re all done, hang the wreath up and enjoy your new HERSHEY’S candy wreath!

After resisting eating all this yummy candy, so you could have a nice, complete candy wreath, treat yourself to some delicious HERSHEY’S Chocolate Bark.

It is definitely another great way to get into the Halloween spirit!

Chocolate treats and Halloween go hand in hand and this HERSHEY’S Chocolate Bark is one of our favorite Halloween snack recipes! With all the hooting and howling (or hustle and bustle) of Halloween, I love to whip up this easy Halloween recipe.
